I appreciate your input regarding this album. I do own "Brave New World," and like I mentioned, I like it a lot. In fact, I've liked it more with every spin I've given it. I guess that's why I was so curious about why some Maiden fans seem to be so disappointed with it. Maybe it's just a matter of my expectations being lower than those of big fans of the band. Any way you slice it, it boils down to personal taste. Thanks again and take care.Don
